"These two people must have just lurked here not long ago, because during our first two inspections, I always turned on the subtle state of mind. If there are people hiding in these two locations, I should be able to detect them, unless they are extremely smart and can
A hiding method to avoid the subtle state of mind." Zhang Xiaozu said while looking at the hiding place of the sneak attack.
"It must be the killers sent by Su Mou and Qin Xinru. They are the only ones who have a grudge against the two of us." Niu Dawa said angrily.
"After taking action, he immediately ran away regardless of whether he succeeded or not. He knew how to erase traces to prevent tracking, and his methods were so sophisticated that he could not even trace his state of mind. He was either a professional killer or a master of special training in the military." Zhou Jianlai analyzed.
"The arrow is an armor-piercing arrow, but there is no mark on the arrow. It is impossible to judge the direction of the opponent through the arrow." Zhang Xiaozu observed the arrow for a while and said.
The three of them analyzed and analyzed but couldn't figure out the reason, because there was too little information. But one thing is extremely certain, the other party is definitely targeting Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa. Otherwise, with their professional assassination methods, it would be impossible to kill them.
During the first wave of shooting, Zhou Jianlai was spared as the best target.
In Baiyun City, the only people in Baiyun City who had enmity with Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa, but not with Zhou Jianlai, were Su Mou and Qin Xinru. But without real evidence, they could not make a conclusion, let alone kill the Qin family or suppress the people.
Prince Nan's Mansion asked for an explanation, so he had no choice but to suffer the loss of being dumb.
In the second half of the night, the three of them worked hard and stayed vigilant, but the other party did not come again.
It was not until the evening of the next day that the investigation in Baiyun City was completed. Not many Da Ya spies were uncovered. Perhaps it was because the Da Ya people did not regard Baiyun City as their first strategic target, so they did not deploy a large number of spies to Baiyun City.
.
Unlike Haoyue City and Jincheng, from the families in the city to the local officials, to the city defenders and officers at every level, they were almost completely eroded by Big Tooth spies, so much so that the two cities were easily captured without using weapons.
The results of the investigation of the 500,000 reinforcements have already come out. Although there are only more than 600 people, these 600 people are actually officers in important positions. Fortunately, they were found out, otherwise the army's next combat plan will inevitably be leaked.
To Daya Army.
On June 8th, the sky was clear and the army set out for battle.
The King of Zhennan put on armor and took command of the entire army. The morale of the army was greatly boosted, and their morale was unprecedentedly high. They vowed to fight to the death with Big Tooth Dog.
The Daya Army, which blocked the south gate of Baiyun City every day and called for battle, quietly retreated the day after Zhang Xiaozu and others broke through the blockade and entered Baiyun City. Otherwise, they would become sacrificial sacrifices for this army's expedition.
Zhang Xiaozu and other more than 30,000 people from Yancheng formed the left route army, commanded and dispatched by Li Haotian. The three Zhang Xiaozu were awarded the rank of lieutenant, and each commanded a thousand elite cavalry.
The army went out to war with drums beating, and the people in the city spontaneously sang war songs.
"When the war drums beat, I will take up arms and go to the bloody battlefield.
Dear friends, please take up your weapons and walk with me to drive away the invading wolves.
Dear relatives, please be proud of me.
If my broken body is buried under the bloody loess, please don’t be sad. Please light a pile of firewood in front of the door to light my way home——"
In the coach's cabin, Su Hanju was wearing a battle armor and sitting behind the desk. He tapped the desk with his right index finger rhythmically and hummed the war song together.
His eyes were blurred, his face was full of memories, and his thoughts were already drifting to the battlefield decades ago.
Reminiscing about the glorious past.
At that time, he was still so young, so brave and mighty, and he was not afraid of killing three in and three out among thousands of troops. Every time he returned to the city in triumph, he would charm thousands of girls.
It’s great to be young!
On his right side, Zhang Butcher's face was covered by a light helmet. The weathered cheeks hidden under the helmet also showed an expression of memories.
This war song saved him when he was most confused and helpless.
…
At ten o'clock in the morning on June 11, the army advanced to the gates of Haoyue City.
It was a full day later than the time planned in advance, because the road was extremely damaged by the Daya Army, and it was also frequently ambushed and attacked by small groups of the Daya Army, which seriously delayed the marching speed.
In Haoyue City, the Daya Army built a Jingguan, which was made of the heads of the people of Haoyue City. Countless heads were piled together, which was ten feet higher than the ten-foot-high wall of Haoyue City, standing like a hill.
Within the city.
The stench spread more than ten miles away and was nauseating.
The army approaching the city was so stunned that they wished they could break through the city immediately and smash the bones of the big-toothed dogs occupying the city into ashes.
The army rested in place for an hour, and then war drums broke through the clouds and horns sounded.
"kill!"
Su Hanju stood in front of the army formation, swung the long sword in his hand and roared, and immediately he took the lead and charged towards the closed gate of Haoyue City. Butcher Zhang and the old servant followed closely on their horses, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Kill!"
The King of Zhennan took the lead, his morale was at its peak, the sound of killing was loud, and the footsteps of the charge shook the earth.
The ladders, rams, armor-piercing vehicles and other siege chariots all rumbled into action, heading towards Haoyue City.
"What a shame!" In the cavalry camp at the rear of the army, Niu Dawa looked at the charging army with an envious expression on his face and shouted angrily: "I thought the cavalry would always charge at the front. Who would have thought that now
All I can do is stay back and stare. Damn it, if I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have been a cavalryman!"
"Don't worry, there will be a time when our cavalry will show off its power!" Zhang Xiaozhu comforted Niu Dawa and said, "After Haoyue City and Jincheng are defeated, when the time comes for a head-on confrontation with Daya Army's million-strong army in Yanbei, let Daya Dog be careful
Let’s have a taste of our power! Now, let’s see the power of the prince!”
Looking at Su Hanju, who was leading the charge at the front, Zhang Xiaopou felt his blood boiling all over. He wished he could rush to his side and fight side by side. Even though there were mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of him, he was not afraid at all.
He thought so at the rear. At this time, the soldiers who were following Su Hanju and charging were ten times and a hundred times more excited than him. They never thought that the noble prince would dare to rush in front of them on the extremely dangerous battlefield. The prince was not afraid.
Death, what are they afraid of?
"Listen to the big-toothed dogs in the city -" Su Hanju galloped his horse and roared: "I am Su Hanju, the southern king of Dayu Town. I am the supreme commander of the army and the biological brother of Emperor Dayu. Hurry up and adjust your octagonal heavy crossbow.
Shoot towards me!"
Woo——
Before he could finish his words, a sharp sound pierced the air suddenly sounded.
Anyone who has heard the sound of the eight-pointed heavy crossbow arrows being fired will have their scalps exploded in an instant, their hearts stuck in their throats, and they wish they could immediately rush to Su Hanju's side to block the arrow for the old man.
Blood splashed on the battlefield. Su Han's horse was shot through by a crossbow arrow, and he lay twitching in a pool of blood.
However, Su Hanju had already rushed forward more than ten feet and was rushing towards the city on foot.
"Okay - so awesome!" Zhang Xiaozu was dumbfounded. He clearly saw that Su Hanju jumped out just before the sound of the crossbow arrows piercing the air. In other words, he predicted the launch of the octagonal crossbow a moment in advance. This made Su Hanju jump out.
Zhang Xiaozu felt incredible and couldn't figure out how he did it.
Woo——
Another sound broke through the air.
The crossbow arrows sank into the dry earth with a clang, and missed again.
"Big-toothed dog, do you dare to shoot me on the head? Haha-" Su Hanju, who once again dodged the octagonal heavy crossbow shot, shouted arrogantly towards the Big-Toothed Army on the city wall.
Woo——woo——woo——
The Big Tooth Army became angry, and several air-piercing sounds sounded at the same time.
Blood spurted out, and the horses under the crotch of Butcher Zhang and the old servant were brutally shot. The two people on the horse, just like when Su Hanju was shot just now, jumped out a moment in advance to avoid being shot by the crossbow arrows.
One after another, the huge crossbow arrows hit the dry and hard ground, not even touching the corners of the clothes of the three people.
"mighty!"
"mighty!"
"mighty!"
The army burst into loud cheers.
"My father is so powerful!" Su Mou was behind the army, admiring his father's performance. He felt like he was in a dream, and he was so excited that he had goosebumps all over his body.
"This is battle foresight!" said a middle-aged man wearing red armor next to Su Mou. "It can accurately predict the arrival of greater dangers in advance. Only those who have experienced thousands of lives and deaths can awaken this ability!
It is said that among father and his generation, many marshals or famous generals have such abilities. The octagonal heavy crossbow and even the Zhuxian heavy crossbow cannot even touch the corners of their clothes. I was finally lucky enough to see it today.
It’s so terrifying!”
"Brother, come on! You will definitely become a world-famous general!" Su Mou clenched his fist at the man in red armor and encouraged him.
"We brothers work together!" the man nodded and smiled.
This man's name is Su Yang, the eldest son of Su Hanju and the eldest brother of Su Mou. He is thirty-five years old this year, fifteen years older than Su Mou, but the relationship between the two brothers is very good.
He is regarded as a major general and has 30,000 red-armored cavalry under his command. Their combat power is not inferior to that of the black-armored cavalry. This time, Baiyun City was able to hold on, and his 30,000 red-armored cavalry made great contributions.
Su Hanju praised him very much.
The brilliant performance of the three people shocked everyone in the city. Only then did they realize that the crossbow arrows of the octagonal heavy crossbow could be easily dodged.
boom!
The siege vehicle's fire bombs hit the city wall hard, and the octagonal crossbows exposed by attacking Su Hanju and the three men became the focus of firepower.
The Daya Army was attracted too much attention by Su Hanju and the other three, and their reaction was a few beats slow. However, they finally fought against the city and took advantage of the favorable location. Arrows, fire bombs, rolling logs, stones, etc. rained down overwhelmingly.
This is the most terrifying moment of siege warfare. Human life is as fragile as paper and may be torn to pieces and destroyed at any time.
"Up!" Su Hanju had already rushed to the city wall first. He jumped up and rushed towards the city wall. Then he attached his body to the city wall like a gecko and climbed up quickly.
Hot oil immediately poured down on the city wall, but he didn't panic at all. He swung his body against the city wall and flew several feet away, easily dodging the hot oil attack.
"Haha, it's great!" Su Hanju laughed heartily and posted on the city wall to encourage the attacking army: "Brothers, kill!"
"Kill!" The attacking soldiers all looked like crazy.
